Celebrate the Summer

I am back in the card making mood once again! Summer is almost here, I am creating like crazy, and in love with stamping again! This card was inspired by cards at Better Homes and Gardens. The reds and greens remind me of picking strawberries with my DD.

This card is one I designed for the parent helpers of my daughter's soccer team-- GO CREW! We have so many parents who have stepped in to help keep team running and snack-filled.
